Abstract:
Introduction: Studies show that our body follows a daily
cycle so-called circadian rhythm which affects a large number
of physiological and psychological actions such as body
temperature, metabolism, blood pressure, hormone secretion
and athletic performance. The purpose of this study was to
investigate the effect of a training session on serum
concentrations of immunoglobulin A, cortisol and lipoprotein
at different hours of the day in elite male Taekwondo
athletes.
Material & Methods: Twenty eight elite male sport of
Taekwondo athletes with 23.7±2.7 years old and 10.2±5.4
years experience in sports were divided into two groups as
experimental group ( n =14 ) and control group ( n =14 )
randomly. The experimental group did a steady training
program for 60 min corresponded with 70-90 percentage of
their heart rate reserve at 08:00 A.M and 08:00 P.M in two
different days. The control group rested at the same time and
place. Blood samples were collected before and after training.
Results: Serum cortisol concentrations before and after
training was higher in the morning significantly (P<0.05) and
there was no significant difference between serum
immunoglobulin A concentrations before training in the
morning and at the afternoon. Serum cholesterol
concentrations after the training in the afternoon were lower
than after exercise in the morning significantly (P<0.05),
serum HDL concentrations in the morning were higher than
in the afternoon (P<0.05), serum vLDL and TG
concentrations were higher in the afternoon than the morning
(P<0.05).
Conclusions: Results show that a training session is effective
on concentrations of serum lipids and lipoproteins and is
associated with circadian changes in some of factors, so that
a training session in the morning was leading to increased in
serum cortisol concentrations of the elite Taekwondo athletes.
Machine summary:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a training session on serum concentrations of immunoglobulin A, cortisol and lipoprotein at different hours of the day in elite male Taekwondo athletes.
In recent studies changes in circadian rhythm at resting position have been shown in metabolic variables (oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production), ventilator and cardio-respiratory responses (minute ventilation, heart rate, cardiac output, blood pressure) temperature regulation variables (skin and body core temperature, blood flow) and hormones secretion (cortisol, catecholamines) (1-4).
On the other hand, there was no significant difference between serum concentrations of LDL in physical activity on the morning and in the afternoon and also that didn't change after the 2 training sessions significantly.
Discussion The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of one session Taekwondo training in different times of day on serum concentrations of IgA, cortisol, lipid and serum lipoproteins of male elite Taekwondo.
